One can only be a party to an inheritance if one is named in the will as a partaker or beneficiary of the will and testament of the deceased. Blood relationship to the deceased does not automatically entitled one to the inheritance although he/she can be at the reading of the testament as the act of being a partaker of the inheritance can only be expressly defined by the deceased in writing.
The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:6, "that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promises in Christ through the gospel." Through the preaching of the gospel and the subsequent receiving of Christ into our hearts, we become fellow heirs of the same body - the body of Christ. And as heirs, we get to become rightfully recipients of God's promises in Christ and here we are talking about ALL the promises that are there for us for the taking.
So beloved, remember what a great position we have stepped into when we received Christ into our hearts. As fellow heirs, we are in the same position as everyone else who have taken that step of faith in Christ and nobody can deny us of that right. There is an inheritance for us and don't we forget that and let no one fool us to think that the inheritance is only when we get to heaven; far be it so because the One who made it possible - Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior - had already died to give us that promise and His death qualified us to be in line for the blessings.
